Is this something I or any of you Pentaxians scould worry about?
Only if your images do not show the plane of sharpest focus to be behind or in front of where you expect it to be.

Yes. Front/back focus only affects the PDAF autofocus system, which is what you use when using the viewfinder. In LV it is a separate system and FF/BF does not occur.
